Or like this...

We create an array "banner" of banner ads with info about the URL, IMG and ALT value...

function bannerAd(url, alt, img)
{
   this.url = url;
   this.alt = alt;
   this.img = img;
}

banner = new Array(
 new bannerAd("http://www.amazon.com/free-books.html",
              "Free Books Exchange",
              "http://www.mydomain.com/ads/amazon1.gif"),

 new bannerAd("http://www.amazon.com/cheap-books.html",
              "Cheap Books Exchange",
              "http://www.mydomain.com/ads/amazon2.gif"),

 new bannerAd("http://www.amazon.com/collectors-books.html",
              "Collectors Books Exchange",
              "http://www.mydomain.com/ads/amazon3.gif")
);

Now you can retrieve the info like this...

banner[0].url
banner[0].alt
banner[0].img

This way you have the advantage of having all the fields named so you can refer to them by name or index.

I like defining my array using new Array()... and since you are the first one to use them, you get the points. But seriously, you guys are all right.


What you have all confirmed me one thing is that there is not a very nice way to define a multidimension array. Here is what I end up with:


<SCRIPT>
multiArray = new Array(3)
for (i=0; i<3; i++)
   multiArray[i] = new Array(4)
for (i=0; i<multiArray.length; i++)
   for (j=0; j<multiArray[0].length; j++)
      multiArray[i][j] = i+"/"+j
for (i=0; i<3; i++)
{
   for (j=0; j<4; j++)
      document.write(i +"/"+ j +": "+ multiArray[i][j] +"<BR>")
   document.write("<BR>")
}
</SCRIPT>
